I need an ARCNET card for another PC bus system (e.g. PCI or USB). What do I have to keep in mind?
1. If your software is using a SOHARD RAW driver, you may swap to every other SOHARD card without the need to adapt your software.
Please download the latest RAW driver from our website, to ensure that all SOHARD products are supported.
2. Unless your software accessed the ARCNET hardware using SOHARD drivers the adaption of your software will be inevitable.
